“It is difficult not to fall in love with Roscommon House. Distinctive, filled with mid-century-inspired detail and tied to its garden setting, it feels as if it’s always stood there.
Commissioned by a couple wanting a single-story family home with a connection to its gardens, they turned to award-winning architect Neil Cownie.”
Neil says that with a significant legacy of modernist and brutalist buildings still remaining in the suburb, he felt a responsibility to produce a design that not only served the needs and desires of his clients but was also in conversation with the ethos of the suburb, without mimicking or replicating the past.
Roscommon House is the first featured haven for 2023 with The Havenist and described as “a mid-century-inspired home built using concrete, timber and glass. Designed by award-winning architect Neil Cownie, it tells stories of its past, present and place in the garden suburb of Floreat.”
